Unified Media Library Pools for Centralized File Management

Shopify Updates: 

Introduction to Unified Media Library

We’re excited to share a major update in the way Shopify handles media files. The media library has now been unified across content, files, and products, streamlining file management for merchants.

Key Improvements in File Management

Centralized File Access

With this upgrade, product media is now accessible within the files section under content in the admin. This is a significant step toward media centralization on Shopify.

New Features to Simplify File Management

  • Used-In Column: A new column in the content/files section shows where each file is used across Shopify, including Metaobjects, Products, and Brand Settings.
  • Used-In Filter: Easily find files used by products by applying this new filter.
  • Improved File Selector in Store Editor: The online store editor now includes a redesigned file selector modal that allows merchants to save views, apply filters, and toggle between different types of media seamlessly.
